In the process, we obtain completely new proofs of all the major results concerning the Riemannian case. In contrast to previous work, our approach is twistor-theoretic, and depends fundamentally on the fact that, up to biholomorphism, there is only one complex structure on CP2.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2002-11-01T18:34:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53C22", "32G10" ], "keywords": [ "complex surfaces", "zoll manifolds", "torsion-free affine connections", "complex structure", "classify compact surfaces" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2002math.....11021L" } } }
